I’ve had publishing fail before when there was a line break (or maybe a vertical tab, can’t remember which) in a remarks field that then made a new line causing that new line to have a null occurrenceID. Any chance something like that could be causing the failure?

Subject: [IPT] Publication of big dataset fails, can't find why

Hi,

We're trying to publish version 45.4 of this dataset:

http://data.inbo.be/ipt/resource?r=florabank1-occurrences, but the

validation seems to fail. Here's the publication log:

http://data.inbo.be/ipt/publicationlog.do?r=florabank1-occurrences

As far as I can tell, the validation fails on "the core ID field

occurrenceID is always present and unique", but we have verified this

in the generated dwca-45.4.zip file, and all records have a unique

occurrenceID.

Any idea what might be going on? Possible causes:

1. The dataset is quite big (3,5 million records)

2. We've just solved this issue:

https://github.com/LifeWatchINBO/data-publication/issues/104 by

following Kyle Braak's instructions. The latest published version is

now 45.3, the current (to be published) version is 45.4, so everything

seems fine there.

3. Even though the publication failed, the following files are created

in /resource/florabank1-occurrences:

eml-45.4.xml

dwca-45.4,zip

florabank1-occurrences-45.4.rtf

Will those file be overwritten if I try to republish or might they be

causing the publication to fail?

Thanks,

Peter
